Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba (my father is not at peace)

Ngahlangana kasibiya izolo
(I met up sibiya yesterday)
"we-jonathan, angiphathekile kahle mina
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ubaba ongasekho inkomo yakhe
(I of my late father pointing at his ox)
Ngikhumbula engitshela ethi "wemfana
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma ngihamba kulomhlaba wemfana
(on the day I pass away and this earth)
ukungifihla ngebokisi (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
wami
(my boy)
Awungebesa ngesikhumba senkomo emhlophe, wemfana
(you should bury me wrapped in the of a white ox, my boy)
Awungihambisa ngenkomo
(you should send me on my last by means of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!
(the ox, the ox of my father....)

Akalele ekhaya
(father is not at at home)
Akafuni ibokisi, inkomo
(he does not want a coffin, he an ox)
Akalele ubaba
(father is not at home)
mfokasibiya wathi "jonathan lalela lana
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
Ngokushona kababa kwenzeka
(on the day my father died a most unfortunate happened)
Abantu bomndeni bayamdumisa
(our thought they would give hima great sendoff)
Bamfihla engalifuni
(and they buried him in a coffin, knowing he did not this)
Saxabana sodwa bomndeni (x2)
(we among ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngoba mina bayasithela ngebadi
(we argued because I said they had done which would bring great
Misfortune)
Benkunzima ngelelolanga ubaba
(it was the day we buried my father)
ngelelolanga
(it was that day)

Ubaba akalele ekhaya, ugudla
(father is not at at home, his spirit wanders around the cattle
Enclosure)
Ibokisi lakhe
(it imprisoned by the coffin)
isikhumba senkomo yakhe (x2)
(his spirit still to be accompanied by his ox)
